The den is perfectly situated with newly designed cabinetry and desks for study. Every bathroom is completely new with top quality modernity. New systems including a full sound system, and Smarthome technology have been added, so you can operate your lights, heat, automatic shades from your smart devices. Each of the three fireplaces were updated and converted to propane, while the chimneys were all relined,custom designed and installed. The HVAC was  converted from oil to propane with a 1000 gallonsubterranean tank added.  The lower level basement was renovated to include a new French drain system as well as new super pumps if ever needed.  All This AND More! Minutes from downtown Darien, the Corbin District, schools, amenities as well as the Metro North train station to NYC.
